I don't know if this is a good idea. In part, because so much of a good idea is driven by a unique understanding of a market that a founder has. Also, in part, because I'm involved with an idea that nobody thought would work, but actually does, so my calibration is off. That being said, I have a few questions to ask that might help you figure out if this is a good idea. First, "to what problem is this a solution?" Second, who is the customer? Customers are different than users. Customers are people who pay for goods and services. Sometimes your users and customers are the same people, but other times they're different. So, you may have users, but in order to be a business, you need to have customers, too. Third, put the first two questions together: are there people who will pay for that solution? If so, a) how many, b) how much, and c) (IMHO, most importantly) how are you going to find them? In other words, you could have a great solution to a real problem, but if you don't have a cost efficient way to connect the two, then you don't have a business. Obviously, this is not every question you may want to ask in order to validate your idea, but I hope these are a few that help.
